Ian is first in line! - but failing that I have a set of shocks taken off because I've upgraded to Wilbers.

To be fair, I probably would like to keep mine, so sell away

Hi Steve

They were taken off as an upgrade, and certainly would pass an MOT - although they have done 50k average style (mostly without pillion) miles.
How does £50 sound for the rear? It's heavy so you may prefer a ride west rather than the non-existent postal service. On recent evidence, I reckon UPS would charge a good £40 for carriage.

50k is about the end of the road for the original shock...

Mine went south 2 years ago at the MOT Test.

I replaced it with a Hagon. pretty damn good for the money when you look at what you could spend.

DO keep your receipt, the shock comes with a 2 year warranty and Hagon do a superb warranty service.

I'm looking at this as well , one of my mates has these on his 1150 RT and he's very impressed - at the moment my decision may be driven more by cost though .
